How to Add, Share or Remove a Coach

If you have an athlete account and your coach has a Professional/Coach account you can request to be connected as an athlete or share your account with a coach. More on the different coach and client relationships can be found here.

To add, share or remove your coach please log into your TrainingPeaks personal account. Once logged in please click on your name in the upper right and select "Account Settings." 

1. Once your Account Setting Window is open click on the "Social and Sharing" tab under "Account Settings" click on the "Linked Coaches/Trainers" tab.

2. To add a new coach click on the "Add new" link next to "Request a coach." If you wish to share your account click "Add new" next to Others Im shared with. For more information on the difference between a coach and a shared coach please go here.

Your work as an athlete is complete. Your coach will recieve an email from TrainingPeaks and will need to complete the connection by accepting the invite and logging into their account.
